"CASLT has always been an important link for me with the research,
the practice and the resources of L2 teaching and learning as well
as a place providing opportunities for dialogue and connections with
L2 teachers at all levels in Canada."
Carolyn King, CASLT President (2003-2005)

National Conferences

Since 1970, annual conferences or colloquiums have been held to bring together members from the Canadian Association of
Language Teachers (CASLT). Each year, many second language teachers have a need to meet in a forum in which they may
exchange pertinent ideas and become acquainted with research in the field.

In 2009, a new brand was launched for the biennial CASLT national conference for second language educators, Languages Without Borders.
